Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a device for generating announcement information. When the complete speech information is generated by means of natural speech information, a large storage capacity is required. The device aims to enable a plurality of different speech information to be generated without requiring a large storage capacity.To this end, there is proposed a device for generating announcement information, comprising an input unit (1), a storage unit (2) for storing natural speech information (11), and a speech generator (3) for generating synthetic speech information (14), there being provided a multiplexer (4) for combining the natural speech information (11) and the synthetic speech information (14) so as to form the announcement information (15).Application: digital speech processing.
